I wonder if the main approach should be constructing one's repo to have the preferred file type. Or are you envisioning a repo with a summary in bz2 and also gz, and packages presumably in gz, and some users want one and some want the other? An option to prefer a compression type when finding files doesn't really seem objectionable, but it seems unnecessarily complicated if there's a better fix of buliding the repo differently.
